Graduate documents

Once you become eligible to graduate you will receive an academic transcript. Your testamur (certificate) and an Australian Higher Education Graduation Statement (AHEGS) are provided when you graduate – all free of charge.

Academic transcript

This is your official record of study at Deakin. It lists your course, units, majors and specialisations, grades, dates of study and any honours. Prospective employers may use it to verify your qualifications.

How to order a transcript

Fill in the quick online form and we’ll send your new transcript in the post. Or, drop in to Student Central on any campus to collect in person.

Someone other than you picking up your transcript

If someone else is picking up your transcript for you at Student Central, please alert us via email and include their name and date of birth. They'll also need to bring photo ID.

Pre-1988 students

If you studied in Geelong prior to 1979, in Melbourne prior to 1985 or in Warrnambool prior to 1987, please contact Student Central directly:

Testamur

A testamur (or certificate) is the award certificate and official document that confirms the conferral of your course and includes your majors and specialisations, distinction and honours, if awarded.

If you complete a double degree you will receive two testamurs – one for each stream of your degree. If attending your graduation ceremony, they will be presented together in one testamur pocket.

How to replace your testamur

We can send you a new testamur for free if you didn’t receive your original (within 12 months of conferral/ceremony date) or if it was damaged in the post. For all other reasons there’s a charge.

Complete the Request - replacement testamur (PDF 300KB) form and choose from one of the payment options below to request a replacement testamur. An authorised witness must sign the statutory declaration before you submit this form.

Payment options

In Person

Payment can be made at any Student Central on campus. EFTPOS, Visa or MasterCard are accepted.

Charges for a replacement testamur

Replacement testamur – if you did not receive it or was received damaged. Note: you must contact the graduations office within 12 months of graduating for a free replacement.

Testamurs from former Deakin institutions

Unfortunately, we can't replace testamurs from institutions that are no longer part of Deakin, such as the State College of Victoria (Geelong and Warrnambool), Institute of Advanced Education (IAE) or Victoria College (Burwood, Toorak and Clayton).

AHEGS

Your Australian Higher Education Graduation Statement (AHEGS) includes your award, full academic results (including failures and late withdrawals), prizes, internships and information about Deakin and Australia’s higher education system. The AHEGS helps international audiences understand your qualifications. When you graduate, you’ll receive an AHEGS without charge. Charges only apply for replacement AHEGS.

How to replace your AHEGS

If you require a copy of your AHEGS, please complete the online form and make your payment through one of the options provided. Once your payment has been received, your AHEGS will be sent to you in the post.

Statement of Results

A Statement of Results (or evidence of enrolment) is an unofficial record of your results. It's free and you can request one by contacting Student Central.

A Statement of Results is not available for antecedent institutions of Deakin University, such as the Gordon Institute of Technology, State College of Victoria (Geelong/Warrnambool), IAE and Victoria College (Burwood/Toorak/Clayton).

If you would like a summary of your units from this study period, rather than a full academic transcript, you can run an 'evidence of enrolment' through StudentConnect.

Law graduates

If you're a law graduate wanting to practice law, the Board of Examiners (Victorian Legal Admissions Board) needs a copy of your transcript and Academic Conduct Report.

Student Central will forward a copy of your academic transcript to the Assistant to the Head of School in the School of Law.

An Academic Conduct Report will then be generated and forwarded to the Board of Examiners with your academic transcript and a letter from the Head of School confirming you have completed the course requirements for the LLB.
